In these sessions, I open and align energy centers and create a deep meditative state for people I am working with. I use flutes, ocarinas, rattle, drum, and voice in this work. I am also facilitating toning circles for those who would like to create healing sounds for themselves. We also have plans to combine modalities, offering an accupuncture, massage, sound medicine package to really create bliss! My info will be coming soon to the McKay website. An exciting direction for my work.]]> http://davidkeymusic.com/news.html#22 Sat, 06 Oct 2007 00:00:00 -0700 Sound Artist - David Key - News/Journal http://davidkeymusic.com/news.html#21 http://davidkeymusic.com/news.html#21 Fri, 22 Jun 2007 00:00:00 -0700 Sound Artist - David Key - News/Journal http://davidkeymusic.com/news.html#20 http://davidkeymusic.com/news.html#20 Sun, 19 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0800 Sound Artist - David Key - News/Journal http://davidkeymusic.com/news.html#19 http://davidkeymusic.com/news.html#19 Sun, 12 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0800 Sound Artist - David Key - News/Journal http://davidkeymusic.com/news.html#18 “SINGING FOR THE TURTLES”
Musicians David Key and Ella Hill Perform Original Works

Saturday, November 11, at 6:30 pm, Porter’s Neck Yoga and Spa, Charleston Place, Wilmington, will present David Key and Ella Hill in concert. The concert, entitled “Singing for the Turtles”, is a benefit for the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Hospital. The Topsail Island organization is known for its important work rehabilitating sea turtles, and protecting sea turtle nests. All proceeds from ticket sales and CD sales will be donated to the hospital.
Ella Hill makes Oak Island her home. She is a singer, songwriter and storyteller who is committed to raising awareness of the beauty and interconnection of All Our Relations. As a descendent of the Algonquin and Mohawk peoples, Ella guides earth-centered healing rituals and ceremonies that promote self-healing, harmony, and balance. Ella will be sharing original chants and drumming rhythms from her upcoming CD, “Turtle Woman.”
“Ella and I have similar approaches to our music making,” says David. “Our music often comes from our experiences in nature, in meditation, and in Dreamtime. This past summer, Ella and I both had powerful encounters with Turtles. She found one on Oak Island who had washed ashore, no longer alive. A few months later, I witnessed the miracle of a turtle hatching on Topsail Island. Since that time, we have both composed new pieces inspired by our experiences.”
David and Ella will combine their voices and instruments in a concert to honor the turtles, and help the Sea Turtle Hospital. The performance will be held in the yoga studio of Porter’s Neck Yoga and Spa, and is open to all ages. Admission is $12.

It is part of my personality. But I know I would better serve myself if I could learn to laugh at the serious stuff a little more. Including music. If I get too full of myself in the music-making process, I lose the lightness of what music is ultimately about. Somehow, there needs to be a little detachment, even in the midst of bearing our souls and hearts through sound.]]> http://davidkeymusic.com/news.html#17 Mon, 16 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0700 Sound Artist - David Key - News/Journal http://davidkeymusic.com/news.html#16 I wrote in a previous entry of the discipline required in music. When I shoot hoops, I may not have the same discipline, but I do notice some things. When I am “in the pocket” playing, things are smooth and effortless. Baskets made are very satisfying “swishes”, and there is a grace and dance to my movements. Unfortunately, those moments are short-lived and followed by many moments of clumsiness. But it did make me think that good athletes, like good musicians, must “play” at perfecting not just the craft of what they do, but the art of the transitions that make things move smoothly. In music, it is often the silence between the notes that makes the music. In basketball (in my untrained observer’s opinion) it is the same. When I focus on dribbling well, handling the ball well, and my placement and setup before the shot, the shot tends to go better. I’m sure when I get to that place where I am not thinking of those things, things will go better still. We practice long tones to have what we need to move from one note to the next.]]> http://davidkeymusic.com/news.html#16 Sat, 30 Sep 2006 00:00:00 -0700 Sound Artist - David Key - News/Journal
